Harford's teachers' union has tentatively agreed to a three-year contract that would give teachers 3 percent annual across-the-board raises, the first such raises in two years, the union president said last night.

Teachers employed by the school system 15 years or less would also get annual step raises of varying amounts, said Jean R. Thomas, president of the 1,500-member Harford County Education Association.

She said the contract would be presented to teacher representatives Thursday. Teachers would have to rush to vote on the contract before the next meeting of the school board on Feb. 8, Mrs. Thomas said.
